Oscar-winning
director Roman Polanski last night was greeted with applause while
picking up his lifetime achievement award at the Zurich Film
Festival. He was unable to pick up the award in 2009 after being
arrested by Swiss police for allegedly having sex with a 13-year-old
girl in 1977. "I mean, who else would have the guts to come to
this festival after he has been arrested here?" said This
Brunner, a Swiss film and art expert in Zurich. "He has a unique
personality, he has a huge heart."

With the exception of dopes like Joel Tannenbaum and Jammie Rasset, record labels have moved away from trying to sue the poop out of individuals for copyright infringement. But before you go look for Feist's new album on thepiratebay.com, there is a new group called Digital Rights Corp. that will go out and find suspected copyright infringers and demand you pay them $10. Yeah, 10 fucking dollars. So watch your ass when you download the Bob Marley discography, smokey.

A
10-year-old Idaho boy went toe-to-toe with a mountain lion in a rural
area of Boise, Idaho, escaping with only minor scratches. He was
apparently unfazed by the event, claiming his biggest fear is that
his friends at school won't believe his story. The boy and his father
were looking for a missing hunting dog when he happened upon the
mountain lion feeding on the dog in question. Case closed.
The
child tried to run from the lion but tripped allowing the lion to
take a swipe at the boy's arm. The boy drew his hunting knife and
screamed something at the lion. Probably, "This is Boise!"
The
boy's father then fired off a few warning shots and the lion
scampered away.

Fox
can't stop, won't stop making Kiefer programs with Kiefer Sutherland
killing terrorists. A new show, Touch, was created and written
by Tim Kring, the guy who did Heroes. Alongside big Kief will
be Danny Glover, who is reportedly not too old for this shit. The
show has Kiefer trying to connect with his mute son and soon
discovers he has the "ability to see things that no one else can
and the patterns that connect seemingly unrelated events."

The
creator of The
Drew Carey Show,
Bruce Helford, has signed on to write and run Charlie Sheen's new
television show, Anger
Management. The
show will be based on the 2003 movie of the same name about an
average Joe forced to attend group anger-management sessions led by a
crazy therapist. Sheen will probably play the therapist.

Tony
Bennett, singer/political advisor(?), is on the hot seat after
telling Howard Stern on Monday that President George W. Bush admitted
to him that the Iraq War was a mistake. “He told me personally that
night, he says, ‘I think I made a mistake,’ ” Bennett said,
referring to the Iraq War and not the fact that he had the White
House chef pair a lobster bisque with a Muga Rioja. Faux pas!

Now in its 10th year, the MidPoint Music

the best and brightest fests in the region, this year offering

Cincinnati’s visual arts talent, as ArtWorks and MPMF bring the foreign
concept of the Box Truck Carnival to town.

Appearing
as a presenter on the 2011 Emmy Awards last night, Charlie Sheen
declared before naming the nominees, “I want to take a moment here
to get something off my chest and say something to everyone here at
Two
and a Half Men...”
Oh
shit!

Charlie
Sheen has proudly taken all of our money after watching his public
meltdown, shitty comic routines and buying his stupid T-shirts.
Sheen
on Thursday told Jay Leno that he was actually "losing"
during his breakdown and that he "thought I could come back …
kind of like you did." Sheen says that he has no grudge against
the producers of Two
and a Half Men
and that "I'd have fired my ass, too." He even said that if
he were to meet new member of the cast Ashton Kutcher, he'd "just
give him a hug and say, 'Make me proud, dude.' "
